A tribute doesn't make it original, it's still copying, calling it a tribute only justifys that it wasn't created by the one paying the tribute. I don't hate Madonna, I still like her, but let's be real, her whole career has been one big tribute to what others have done, and I don't just mean Marlyn Monroe. people forget about Marlene Dietrich, Bette Davis, ABBA, etc. Her inspirations have come from what others have done. to call Gaga a copycat is hypocritical.
Madonna never copied Marilyn Monroe, I know Madonna has parodied Marilyn dozens of times, and on each occasion Madonna made it blatant and obvious as to what she was doing. Madonna parodied Marilyn, she didn't copy her. Some of you Monsters need to learn the difference. And if that doesn't sink in Marilyn didn't invent that look either, nor did Jean Harlow. It's a modern take on the neoclassical silhouette with origins in the ancient world. And one last thing Madonna never said "Lady gaga is just a copy"
Take a look at the other "tributes maddy's pulled over the years, inspiration is different from aping someone down to the last detail. I still love them both though!!!! listal.com/..., judiciaryreport.com/...,
